(for satellite phone usage, and moral support!)
Although this was a solo hike, of course it wasn’t a solo effort. The following people, businesses and organizations offered assistance by way of advice, moral support, logistics, equipment, publicity, or other help along the way, and warmed my heart with their generosity. I couldn’t have done this without their help! Thanks for supporting Child Haven and my hike!
As for financial donors, I am not posting a list of names, since many requested to be anonymous. I am truly grateful, and have tried to thank each one personally where possible. I know there are a few donors whose names I do not have, so please know your generosity is just as appreciated, though I haven’t expressed that to you in a more personal manner!
